Youth Heartline and MEG Deliveries, Dec 2024

Greetings and Happy Holidays to you! I'm delighted to share with you that we have been super busy these past two months making about 200 pillowcases! We provided 60 pillowcases to Youth Heartline whose vision is "healthy families, healthy children." These pillowcases will be given to children in need as holiday presents. We also created 60 pillowcases for seniors in need and those will be distributed through the MEG Senior Center program as holiday gifts. And, we sent another 60 pillowcases to the Shelter Borders for children with families seeking asylum. Nearly 200 beings are receiving the message that they are loved and cherished through a physical expression of solace that they can lay their head on. One senior mentioned that every morning when she awakes and sees her pillowcase she remembers that she is lovable. Thank you for your support!!

Greetings Friends! We just delivered 75 pillowcases to one of our new venues, Gerard's House, "a safe place for grieving children, teens and families, where healing happens through acceptance and peer support." Our pillowcases have become part of their curriculum. Children will be able to memorialize the pillowcases with the names of their loved ones. The program takes place towards the end of the year so we will provide an additional update once that happens. Thank you for all of your support in helping us make our pillowcases available to these vulnerable children. With gratitude, Julie and Mathew

We had the good fortune to deliver 40 pillowcases and 15 pillows (!) to one of our new venues, Consuelo's Place, an emergency shelter for those experiencing homelessness, particularly the elderly and women with children. A new contributor, Cindy Orion, made and donated pillowcases with pillows (!), an extra that was needed at this particular venue. Thank you for making all of this possible! Every donation is applied to fabric and transformed into love. With heartfelt gratitude, Julie and Mathew

Hello Friends! Our "you are loved" pillowcases were delivered to Esperanza Shelter along with other needed items for the children and moms. Pillowcases4Love received a lovely thank you note along with photos of the pillowcases being bagged and received. We have several to share with you of the process and staff. Thank you so much for making such a difference in the lives of so many children. YOU ARE LOVED!! Julie and Mathew

Happy early Labor Day wishes to you. 

Mathew and I have been busy making our latest pillowcases - princesses, puppy dogs, flamingos, beach-going avocados, and more! 

AND, I just delivered a large batch to Santa Fe Senior Services who are gathering items to support children and women at our local Esperanza Shelter. Their mission is "to shelter those threatened by domestic violence and to support healthy relationships."  We are so grateful for your enthusiasm to help us spread the love and bring smiles to little ones. Julie and Mathew

 Happy summer to everyone! Mathew and I have been super busy creating colorful reminders for children that they are loved, cherished, and welcomed. These pillowcases feature lots of summer fun including watermelon slices, flavorful popsicles, swimming fish, sailboats, and beach vibes. Our hope is that each child receiving a pillowcase experiences warmth and delight from having something of their very own, made just for them. As they lay their little heads down to sleep accompanied by the message "you are loved" we wish them sweet dreams and their parents some ease amid the upheaval in their lives. 

May we all remember to remind each other "you are loved." 

With deep gratitude for your support, Julie and Mathew

Greetings all, wow it is already July! Mathew and I have been delighting in summertime fabrics. We just made another delivery to Christus St Vincent's pediatric unit and included happy cacti, choo-choo trains, animal alphabets, and hearts galore. Our next delivery to the border happens in a few weeks and we are poised to send another 100 or so as reminders that love still persists in this complicated world. Thank you for helping us spread this message that "you are loved!!" It IS what the world needs now. With deep gratitude, Julie and Mathew
